Official Review: Kidnapped by E. Alan Fleischauer
Jean Cantrell finally purchases a secluded farm near Golden, Colorado. She is definitely thrilled she can settle down peacefully in an unknown place after killing Mr. JT Thomas. Mr. JT Thomas had killed her only brother and friend. However, she is disapproved when she learns Mr. JT Thomas is still alive. Jean hatches a plan to kidnap Madeline whom Mr. JT Thomas loves so much that he cannot let her out of his sight. Concurrently, Mr. JT Thomas is establishing his own detective agency, Thomas Detective Agency. Four men from the agency are confronted with a formidable task of liberating Dawson Town from the Gunderson gang. Elsewhere, a weary and famished man, A.V. Lanier, goes to Emma’s café. He is so exhausted that Emma promptly offers him a room as she inquires what happened to him.
What is his story? Is he genuine? How do all these unique pieces fit into the clever puzzle?
Welcome to the Wild West where anything can happen instantly and you need to be ready. Gunfights are common and no one will be arrested if it resulted even from a slight provocation and there were witnesses. There are gangs out to wreak havoc and ferocious beasts are roaming the impenetrable forests. Con men exist as well and even the local law enforcement officers can be murdered in cold blood. Kidnapped was authored by E. Alan Fleischauer. The book was published in April 2020 and is the third book in the JT Thomas saga series. It falls in the genre of other fiction. The setting of the story was in the 1870s and the scene descriptions perfectly fit the timeline. This was one of the things that made the story so compelling that I could not put it down.
I had not read the first two books when I started reading this book. Nothing was hard to understand, though. The author filled in the other details as the story progressed. At first, the pace of the story was slow, and I had to struggle to read. The only thing that propelled me to continue reading then was the fact that I had to read the book. What I did not know was the author was laying a solid foundation for the rest of the story. Consequently, devouring the succeeding chapters was enthralling. One of the reasons why I appreciated the flow of the story was that there was a balance between drawing plans and executing them. The action-packed scenes, as a result, came as much-needed exhilarating areas.
Readers will enjoy many other stories running alongside the key story. All of them were brilliantly concluded at the end. The only thing I disliked about the story was that the writing was choppy. Several scenes appeared rushed, and so I was left yearning for more of what I could not have. The characters were also a bit flat and there was no apparent further development as the story progressed. These issues did not detract from the general enjoyment of the story, though.
The book was professionally edited as I discovered only one grammatical error. I soundly rate it 4 out of 4 stars. Those who love fascinating stories about the Wild West from the 1800s will enjoy reading this book. It will also appeal to ardent fans of other fiction stories with a little dose of mystery.
I look forward to the upcoming installment in the series.

Despite having lots of puzzles, the author did well to end the story proper.
